| Day 2 |
Ovacik to Berke. Two choices today. Either a gentle walk down the valley and over a low ridge to the village of Gedelme (13 km, 4½ hrs, CUSs 150m) or a more challenging walk for experienced walkers along a side branch of the Kemer river valley to the Roman Bridge (18 km, 6 hrs, CUSs 50m but 900m drop). Taxi pick up from restaurant in Gedelme or the Roman Bridge. |
| Day 3 |
Berke to Phaselis. Walk up through the pine woods and then drop down to explore the major Graeco-Roman site. A paddle in the sea ends your walk (12 km, 5 hrs, CUSs 500m) |

Phaselis to Cirali. After a short ride to the start of the walk, continue your journey enjoying spectacular views between secluded beaches, and along an old cliff path to the beach at Cirali (21 km, 7 hrs, CUSs 700m) Alternative: Take a ride along the coast in a wooden motorboat to a beach, then walk for 2½ hrs. |
| Day 5 |
Free day to visit the ruins at Olympus and/or lunch at a famous restaurant and a walk to the eternal flames of the Chimaera. Or you may prefer to put your feet up on the beach and get ready for the last two days' walking. |
| Day 6 |
Cirali to Adrasan. A beautiful walk. Starting with a morning’s beach walk past Olympus and a stiff climb through strawberry (arbutus) tree woods, the afternoon will take you from high pastures down through pine and deciduous woods on a pretty and winding path. The walk ends with a stroll along the river bank to your hotel for the night. (16 km, 6½ hrs, CUSs 750m) |
| Day 7 |
From Adrasan to the Lighthouse, and Antalya. Enjoy the wildest part of your journey which has been saved for your last walking day. From the beach at Adrasan, the route climbs up a pretty path to a pass. From there it tracks the sea along a dramatic coastline, eventually arriving at the lighthouse of Kilidonya. Your taxi will collect you at your chosen time and take you to our favourite Antalya hotel. (22 km, 7½ hrs, CUSs 650m) |
